SAN FRANCISCO, June 30, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Truework, the automated income verification platform, today announced it is a fully integrated partner with Encompass® by ICE Mortgage Technology, the leading loan origination platform for mortgage lenders. Loan processing teams can now automatically verify any U.S. employee through Truework without leaving the Encompass® environment. With close to half of all U.S. mortgages originated through Encompass®, more lenders than ever will be able to use Truework to process faster income verifications.

Lenders can automate more of the underwriting process by verifying any employee through Truework. Truework has an instant employment and income data network for over 35 million U.S. employees, making it the second-largest and fastest growing instant network in the U.S. The company is also one of the first API-enabled verification platforms on Encompass®, giving administrators the ability to integrate in just a few clicks. 

The Encompass® integration makes submitting verifications easier than ever, helping loan processors save time by centralizing verification submissions and reports into one system.

Prioritizing privacy and security, only one login is needed to complete any verification through Truework. 

“Encompass® users will now be able to combine the industry’s most recognized loan origination system with industry-best verification coverage on Truework,” said Ryan Sandler, CEO and co-founder of Truework. “We’re bringing an automated one-stop-shop for all income and employment verifications to Encompass®.

LONDON, June 30, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — S&P today unveiled a new report that details the significant, wide-ranging and long-term impacts that Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) considerations will have on the Information Technology (IT) industry. The report, from 451 Research, part of S&P Global Market Intelligence finds ESG is emerging as one of the most significant issues and will have major impacts on, and implications for, the IT industry, especially at large and public organizations.

The report, “ESG and Technology – Impacts and Implications” details the ways in which ESG mandates are shaping technology industry priorities and investments across a broad gamut of enterprise technologies and segments, from cloud-based datacenters to consumer smartphones, and everything in between.

Chris Marsh, Principal Analyst at 451 Research and lead author of the report
, said, “ESG will become not only one of the hottest issues of our time, but potentially one of the most transformative for both industries and societies as well. The importance of IT in shaping our increasingly digital future means the industry will have a huge bearing on the evolution of ESG, and in creating a more sustainable and equitable society. This is already happening in some obvious ways, such as through the use of sustainable energy in datacenters, but will also play out in many more subtle, but no less impactful, ways.”

Chris added: “There are multiple challenges and risks for the technology industry to address, but also massive opportunities to help drive changes that will be positive for society at large. We aim to help clients understand the broad and sometimes complex ESG space through our data and insights.”

The report identifies more than 30 important technology trends that have a bearing on the nature, pace and extent of ESG, including the following:

Datacenter efficiency. Half of datacenter operators say their investment in sustainability initiatives is being driven by customers’ interest, according to a global survey by 451 Research in 2020. The majority of service providers expect sustainability to become a key competitive differentiator in three years.

Ethical consumerism. Around a third (35%) of respondents in 451 Research’s VoCUL: Tablets & PCs, Purchase Drivers & Motivators 2020 survey say they are more likely to purchase electronic devices produced using environmentally sustainable business practices. Eighty-seven percent of these respondents are also willing to pay more for such a device.

Talent strategies. Technologies are playing a growing role in employee engagement strategies. Thirty-five percent of employees would accept a new job if the only way it differed from their current job were the better availability of devices, applications and other productivity tools, according to our VotE: WPC, Employee Engagement 2020 survey.

Supply chain governance. Manufacturing companies are using digital twin and digital thread processes to shore up their supply chain governance: 68% have partially or fully deployed them across their operational systems, according to our VotE: IoT, The OT Perspective, Use Cases and Outcomes 2020 survey.

Bias in AI. Sixty-six percent of organizations with AI deployments are testing their models for bias either prior to or after deploying, according to our VotE: AI & Machine Learning, Use Cases 2021 survey, illustrating the strong push for ethical and responsible AI.

Consumer data privacy. Nearly half (46%) of consumers have reservations about sharing their personal data online, yet only 8% of businesses report having a dedicated data privacy team that has primary responsibility for data privacy and data protection, according to our VoCUL: Connected Customer, Trust and Privacy and VotE: Data & Analytics, Data Management & Analytics 2020 surveys.

Dependence on ‘smart’ technology. With 451 Research’s Industrial IoT Market Monitor showing the number of industrial IoT (IIoT) devices nearly doubling over the next five years – with billions of ‘smart’ devices proliferating in consumer, retail and industrial markets – there are clear and growing environmental, social and governance risks across almost all aspects of human existence.

Selected by three leading North American operators to deploy and improve 5G connectivity in dense urban & in rural areas

LITTLE FALLS, N.J., June 30, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Ceragon Networks Ltd. (NASDAQ: CRNT), the global innovator and leading solutions provider of 5G wireless transport, has announced new orders and renewed partnerships with large North American service providers. These orders focus on expanding 5G network reach in dense areas, as well as keeping rural areas connected, up to speed, and able to compete with the rest of the world on a level footing. These material orders, among others, have resulted in strong Q2 bookings in North America.

One of the companies who selected Ceragon is a large Tier 1 North American carrier who field-tested multiple solutions. As Ceragon performed better than competitors, the operator successfully deployed, validated, and accepted Ceragon’s Multiband Solution delivering a staggering 10 Gbps over 4 miles. Thanks to this solution, mobile subscribers will see higher download speeds and the operator will enjoy increased customer satisfaction and reduced churn.

Ira Palti, President & CEO of Ceragon Networks, commented: “All across the world, we deliver a complete 5G offering with increased capacity and coverage, and low latency. In North America, we’re proud to provide a growing number of Tier 1 operators with robust, high capacity, field-proven technologies, and a complete end-to-end service offering that delivers operational efficiency, an improved customer experience, and absolute peace of mind. This was translated into strong bookings in North America in Q2.”

In today’s post-corona economy, with remote work still highly prevalent, end-users need reliable and fast broadband connectivity more than ever. Especially in rural North America, broadband connectivity has become an essential service and a virtual lifeline. In support of 5G traffic, operators need significantly more capacity and better performance. But because fiber optic is either not possible or economically not viable in these areas, there is a growing need for wireless multi-gigabit transport over distances greater than two miles.

To meet this demand, more and more operators turn to Ceragon to provide a compact, reliable, and scalable wireless transport solution for challenging, long-distance rural deployments. With higher link throughput, node aggregation capacities, and multi carrier load balancing, Ceragon’s solutions have enabled operators to offer end-users higher value services. As a dependable and stable supplier, Ceragon has been able to meet aggressive project schedules, working against harsh weather conditions in some remote areas.

About Ceragon Networks
Ceragon Networks Ltd. (NASDAQ: CRNT) is the global innovator and leading solutions provider of 5G wireless transport. We help operators and other service providers worldwide increase operational efficiency and enhance end customers’ quality of experience with innovative wireless backhaul and fronthaul solutions. Our customers include service providers, public safety organizations, government agencies and utility companies, which use our solutions to deliver 5G & 4G broadband wireless connectivity, mission-critical multimedia services, stabilized communications, and other applications at high reliability and speed.
